Veteran actor Saira Banu spoke to Aamir Khan, his ex-wife Kiran Rao and his mother Zeenat Hussain in 2024. On Tuesday, the late Dilip Kumar’s wife took to Instagram and wrote a long heartfelt post for Khan along with several pictures. She also mentioned her tough times and how Khan stood by her.
In the photo shared by Saira Banu, Aamir Khan can be seen sitting on the floor interacting with her. The actor’s mother Zeenat and Saira’s sister Nikhat Khan also spent a relaxed time with her. Sharing the picture, she wrote, “With every turn of the calendar, life keeps unfolding, expanding and evolving. As the year transitions and time progresses, a new perspective breathes new life into our existence. In this perpetual change, one remains constant: the presence of those who share with us the journey of our lives. “
Praising Aamir Khan, Saira called him an irreplaceable presence. “Aamir is still a great admirer of Dilip Sahib and everything he has brought to Indian cinema. It’s mutual, really. Saab has always had a real appreciation for the brilliance of Aamir’s performances and how he brings the characters to life seamlessly on screen. Personally, I’ve always been moved by Aamir’s artistry – not just in his films, but also in the way he’s embraced the role of a family member in Sahib’s and my life.”
“Aamir has been with me through some tough times. I remember when I was putting together Dilip Sahib’s autobiography, ‘The Substance and the Shadow’, Aamir stepped up in every imaginable way, offering support and lending a helping hand. It gives you the glitz and glamor of the film industry. Really appreciate the kind of person she is, going beyond glamour,” she added.
